Grounded is a first-person, multiplayer adventure game where you’ll face giant insects in the backyard. These creatures can be found in many biomes and terrains, requiring you to always be prepared for what may be ahead.
To properly fight these insects, you should have the right weapons, armor, and mutations customized for that boss and your unique playstyle.
In this guide, we will show you how you can get yourself prepared for the fight against the Black Widow spider boss.
Best Black Widow Build Guide
The Black Widow is a spider boss, similar to the Infected Broodmother, which is weak to Sour. It has resistance to Fresh, Salty, and Spicy.
Here are the items that you should consider bringing:
- Fire Ant Shield
- Sour Toenail Scimitar/Sour Battle Axe
- Roly Poly Helmet & Leggings
- Giddy Goop
- Termite Armor
- Healing Items (Soothing Syrups and Bandages)
For Mutations, consider using:
- Blade Master: For more damage.
- Parry Master: For Stamina regeneration.
- Spicy Safety: Reduces damage from the boss’ attacks.
- Mithridatism: Poison Resistance.
- Shocking Dismissal: Helps you deal more damage.
When you enter the Black Widow boss’ lairs, there is a high chance you will run into smaller spiderlings. To deal with them, you can pick up rocks and throw them at the spiders.
You can also use bows to attract their attention. After you have lured them out of the lair, defeat them before fighting the boss.
When you go in, make sure you hold your shield since the spider’s first attacks will be quite quick. Every time she goes for an attack, pull up your shield.
The Black Widow will move backward before attacking, so predict her attacks by looking at the animation.
Once she has finished attacking, it is now your turn to attack her before she attacks again. Keep repeating the steps until the boss runs out of health.
Once you have defeated the boss, you can collect materials from it such as the Spider chunk and the Black Window Fang.
That’s how you can defeat the Black Widow in Grounded. It is recommended that you bring a shield to block the boss’ attacks.
If you ever run low on health, use the consumables you prepared earlier to heal yourself back up. Once you’ve defeated the boss, you will have some amazing rewards!
There you have it! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, here are some of the best Grounded tips & tricks that you might find useful to your gameplay!
